Vacation: Mixed Media with Shari Carroll and Buttons Galore

Welcome everyone!!! We are well into winter with snow and frigid temperatures here in the Mid West and thought it was a good time for a breath of warm vacation air!! I’ve created a quick and easy mixed media project using some beautiful combinations ofSparkletz from Buttons Galore.

I started off by creating a tray by gluing a piece of Media Board to the back of a Vignette Frame. Once I had the tray painted and dried, I added the Sparkletz one color at a time until it was filled.

I covered an 8×8″ frame with my favorite Silver Silk Tonic paper, added a few sprays of paint and a greeting… and I had my window of my vacation sea glas!!!

My heart goes out to everyone suffering in the frigid weather. It’s hard for us Texans to imagine the low temperatures we’re seeing on the news. I hope you’re staying warm. That is such a lovely project and the sentiment is perfect for year-round.

Super card…am looking at it right as there’s a snow squall raging outside and can’t see a single thing outside the window! Much rather see your window with the beautiful buttons and clever water scene!
